I am mid-40s. My daughter is 11. I take her to school, among other driving things, and usually play NPR. Whenever she needs to refer to what she’s hearing – usually to ask if I’ll turn it off so she can pull up some godawful thing where a random Youtuber squawks discordant lyrics to a Pokémon video game score – she calls it a podcast. I’ve stopped correcting her, particularly since most of the “shows” release as podcasts by the next day anyway.
Ah I got you. I’ve seen similar things happen so often with kids hat hadn’t crossed my mind. My nephew thought his grandma’s cordless (landline) phone was a remote control and wouldn’t believe otherwise until I called it. “Why is it beeping???” “That’s called a dialtone” “what’s it supposed to do???”
